Streamer charged after giveaway mayhem in NYC.
Twitch streamer Kai Cenat was charged with inciting a riot due to the Union Square chaos caused by his giveaway.
Twitch streamer Kai Cenat found himself on the wrong side of the law after a chaotic scene unfolded in New York City’s Union Square. Thousands of fans had gathered in response to a giveaway Cenat was promoting on his Twitch stream. However, after the crowd had gathered the New York City Police Department (NYPD) arrived to investigate and Cenat was charged with inciting a riot.
The incident started when Cenat announced on his stream that he would be giving away gaming consoles at Union Square. Within an hour, thousands of fans had gathered in the park, hoping to be the lucky winners. However, the NYPD was quickly called to the scene to investigate the gathering.
When the NYPD arrived, Cenat was arrested for inciting a riot. According to reports, some of the fans in the crowd became angry and started pushing, shoving and throwing projectiles, causing chaos and disruption.
The incident highlights the potential risk of promoting giveaways on Twitch. While giveaways can be a great way to build an audience and reward dedicated fans, it is important to remember that they can also attract the wrong kind of attention.
As a result of the incident, Cenat is now facing criminal charges if convicted. This is an important reminder for Twitch streamers that giveaways can have serious consequences if not handled properly. Streamers should always be mindful of the potential risks associated with giveaways and should take the necessary steps to ensure they are conducted safely and responsibly.
